11erhaps the idea of frogs prepared to leap into
your soup sounds a little, well, unappetizing.
Rest assured these creatures won't be doing any
hopping. Or any moving at all, for that matter.
But set a couple of plastic or paper or plush toy frogs on
your Pesach table (recalling one of the Ten Plagues, of
course), and you're certain to have a lively evening. Chil-
dren will giggle; guests will be charmed; in-laws may be-
come momentarily speechless.

Pesach is the most observed holiday on the Jewish calen-
dar, an eight-day festival that begins and ends with matzah
and macaroons. This year, Pesach starts on the evening of
April 21, the 15th of Nissan.
As you prepare for the holiday, we offer some new ideas
on ways to get your house in order, decorating for the holi-
day, spicy topics to keep even the most dedicated sleeper
awake at the Seder table, and a delicious collection of
recipes generously supplied by our readers.
